Does anyone know of a different source for the MN12832E VFD ?

Noritake-itron said that the price for one VFD unit in the us is 59.1 USD (38.2 GBP), but they do not have any in stock in the US. They will check world-wide and get back to me in the AM.

SONICblue will send me a replacement part for 85UKP (131.6 USD) shipping 25UKP (38.7 USD) . 170 USD to replace the VFD...
Ouch !

I will wait to hear back from Noritake-Itron ...

Don't drop your empeg ...
